In January I bought a used Audi which I sourced through the Audi website, as it claimed that all vehicles have a service history check and will have a clean, completely transparent record. I have no complaints about the car, but six months later I no longer required it so I tried to sell it. At this point I discovered that there was no engine number on the V5C, that it was not a UK-supplied car and that it had had been used in Cyprus.

I also discovered that, despite being just over two years old, there was only a duplicate service book and no registration showing which car it referred to. I called the garage that was stamped in the service book who said they had no knowledge of the vehicle. Do I have a legal claim against either Audi UK or the Audi dealer? I feel this makes a mockery of the so-called Audi Approved Used Car Programme.
